Verse:
------
In this proud land we grew up strong
CmBb/CCm
We were wanted all along
Bb/DEbAb/EbEb
I was taught to fight, taught to win
BbEb/BbBb
I never thought I could fail
CmBb/CCm
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Chorus:
-------
Don't give up - 'cos you have friends
Ab/FEb/GCm7/Ab
Don't give up - you're not beaten yet
Ab/FEb/GCm/Ab
Don't give up - I know you can make it good
Ab/FEb/GAbBb
[verse]
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/peter_gabriel/dont_give_up_crd.html ]
[chorus]
don't give up - you still have us
don't give up - we don't need much of anything
don't give up - 'cos somewhere there's a place where we belong
AbBmEbAb/Eb-Eb
Bridge:
-------
Rest your head
BbEb/Bb-Bb
You worry too much
EbAb/Eb-Eb
It's going to be alright
BbEb/BbBb
When times get rough, you can fall back on us,
EbAbEb
Don't give up, please don't give up
EbBbEbAb/Eb-Eb
Got to walk out of here, I can't take anymore
EbBb
Going to stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below
EbAb
Whatever may come and whatever may go,
EbBb
That river's flowing, that river's flowing
EbBbEbAb/Eb-Eb
[verse]
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
[chorus]
Don't give up - 'cos you have friends
Don't give up - you're not the only one
Don't give up - no reason to be ashamed
Don't give up - you still have us
Don't give up now - we're proud of who you are
Don't give up - you know it's never been easy
Don't give up - 'cos I believe there's a place
AbBb
There's a place where we belong
BbEb
End Section:

[Cm bass riff]
